Hello, I am Arianna Gonzalez and I am urgently asking for help and support for my good friend. Right now, Jade is a 17-year-old teen mother who is in the system. Jade recently gave birth to her beautiful baby boy, Levi, via emergency c-section on August 29th, 2025. During Jade’s pregnancy, she was in multiple different homes that have been extremely unsafe. She was faced with drunks, she was forced to stay in a bedroom that animals used the bathroom in, and she was left with no food on multiple occasions. When addressing these concerns with social workers, she was let down every single time with no type of help or resources out of these situations. Jade currently has no family and no place to go. On August 29th, 2025, after Jade went through one of the most traumatic moments of her life, she was faced with a situation that no freshly postpartum mother should be facing. ACS showed up to Jade’s room only hours after she had given birth to baby Levi and handed her a letter stating she would be losing her baby boy to the system. Right now, Jade is allowed to stay with Levi in the hospital, but she has no idea what the next move is, and it’s between the system placing both her and her baby boy in a home together or the system only placing the baby boy in a home and leaving the young mother to fend for herself on the street. She has already grown such a bond with her baby boy as she’s also breastfeeding him, and through all this, she’s stayed so positive and happy, especially when her baby boy is in her arms.
